#1143 Cannot add 64bit com+ component (3.0.3907.0)
General info:
I've build an 64bit assembly and i need to register it in com+. If set all properties so setup should run in 64bit mode and set the component to 64bit. The component still gets registered but runs in 32bit mode. If I build the component to target the x64 only the the component does not get installed. The problem appears to be in the action ComPlusInstallExecuteCommit.
Repro:
The project containing a very small repro is attached. The repro also contains the log file which you get if the component is targeting "x64" instead of "Any CPU" from vs2008.
Manual repro:
I can get it to work manually.
- Create com+ (server, not library) application
- Register (regasm) the .net assembly from the "Visual Studio 2008 x64 Win64 Command Prompt"
- Add the component to com+ using "Import component(s) that are already registered."
- When called tjhe component returns an IntPtr size of 8 (64bit).
When I register it using the normal command prompt the component will be running in 32bit mode.
Expected:
If the msi component is which contains com+ component is set to 64bit the components should be registered 64bit.
Discussion
Contains repro with the client, the component and the setup source
I've run into this as well and it's a serious limitation. When moving to x64 we basically have to re-write the bulk of our install kit in something other than WiX. Any estimate on when this might get fixed?
